[Player/Coach Comments]

"Kyosuke TAGAWA"
(Looking back at the goal scene)
"We were able to steal the ball like that within the common understanding of trying to take the opponent's ball from the front since the beginning."
"There was a similar situation in the previous match, but it was good that I was able to calmly score a goal today."

(The team also overcame a series of away games with victories)
"It was a difficult match, but we were able to overcome it. I think that fighting through it together as a team will lead to future battles."

(How I overcame the disappointment of not being selected for the Olympics in terms of my mental state)
"I've been thinking since yesterday that I won't dwell on it too much and just focus on today's game. After the announcement yesterday, I didn't want to think negatively and let it affect my performance, so I approached it with the mindset of moving on to the next thing."

(Although I scored a goal on my own, it was able to prove its worth)
"It's grateful to lead to such a thing, but I was able to steal the ball in that situation thanks to my teammates."
"Thanks to the team for pushing us that far, we were able to create those kinds of mistakes. It wasn't just me, but I think it was a goal that we were able to take thanks to everyone."

(There are three powerful Brazilian players in the front line, but the future enthusiasm for the competition for the members)
"I believe that my value can only be enhanced by scoring goals."
"They have things that I don't have, and I think the team expects that from me, so I want to continue to demonstrate my strength on the pitch."

"Sodai HASUKAWA Player"
(It was my first start in a while, but I was prepared for it)
"We had a disappointing loss in the Emperor's Cup, so I made sure to always give 100% in practice to be able to lead the team to victory whenever I played."
"I got my first victory in the league by playing, but today, rather than my own play, I was aiming to secure a victory without conceding any goals. I'm glad I was able to achieve that."

(He was fighting hard in the intense battle)
"There may have been some situations where I should have played more safely, but I played with my strengths in winning the ball and one-on-one battles, and above all, I was conscious of running until the end."
Even in the Emperor's Cup, we were conscious of those aspects, but unfortunately we lost. Today, we had Morishige as a role model next to us, and I think we were able to think about both going for the ball and defending the goal firmly.

(The team's atmosphere has become a winning streak)
"There were tough times, but we came together as one and played with our eyes on the future, and I think that effort has led us to today's battle."
There are still areas for improvement and things that we need to continue working on, but I think the most important thing is that we were able to take 3 points from the current team. So, we want to continue this momentum and aim for a victory in the weekend match against Oita.

(Four Meiji University graduates started at the same time)
"I didn't particularly think about it, but it was very easy to play because the players I know well were nearby. It's also very exciting to be able to play together with everyone in Tokyo again."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"In the midst of a difficult schedule, we were also considering a full-scale battle today due to being away. The 18 members of today's team understood the situation of the game and the team's goals and fought well. We were able to approach this with good preparation."
We want to fully demonstrate our strength and win, and I think we started aggressively and fought as planned.
There were also scenes where the ball was held at the end, but considering the current strength of Tokushima, it was a natural development that was expected, so we increased the number of players in the back to respond.
It was a very important 3 points, as we focused on the battle away from home.
If we can score an additional point after taking the lead, there's nothing more to say. Next is a home game in three days. I think it will be another tough battle, so I want to fight together with everyone.

(Evaluation of Tagawa)
"I think he did a solid job because he scored a crucial goal."
Yesterday, although he failed to make the Olympic team, everyone in the team was talking about it in a positive manner, so I think he was able to switch his mindset and was looking forward to today's game.
"I hope you will continue to perform well and be selected for the Japan national team in the future."

(The reason we were able to play compactly in both offense and defense throughout the match)
"We were able to firmly incorporate Tokushima's style of play through our preparations up to this point. It was also good that we were able to play in the Levain Cup group stage."
I was particularly well done in the first half, so I was able to make good use of the lessons learned at that time today.
I was able to create a good balance between where to go and how to respond. I was able to firmly create situations where I could protect myself in dangerous situations.
The number of games without conceding a goal has increased, and we have also been able to score the first goal. I think the next step is to score additional points."

"Tokushima - Coach Daniel POYATOS Press Conference Summary"
"The first half's conceded goal was a big damage, and overall we couldn't play well in the first half. It's frustrating because we were well prepared for this match."
In the second half, we changed our system and fought for an equalizing goal.
I am satisfied with the second half of the game. We have been able to make good progress since practice, so today's result was very disappointing."

(The second half was a close game with many attempts on goal, but the team was unable to score due to various factors.)
"We have been playing well, but we need to continue practicing and improving in order to score goals. I want the players to be able to score."

(Did you feel that the training during the break was sufficient and that the results were satisfactory?)
"We had prepared well for this match and the team was full of motivation. However, we were mentally affected when we conceded the first goal. Nevertheless, in the second half, the results of our training showed."
However, I believe that soccer is not all about tactics, but involves various elements.
